TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a class of compounds as SGLT2/DPP4 dual inhibitors, and an application in the preparation of a medicament as the SGLT2/DPP4 dual inhibitors. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a compound of formula (I), an isomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

BACKGROUND

Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia, in turn, is caused by defective insulin secretion or impairment of its biological action, or both. In diabetes, long-term abnormal blood glucose levels can lead to serious complications including cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure, retinal damage, nerve damage, microvascular damage, and obesity and the like. In the early stages of diabetes treatment, dietary control and exercise therapy are the preferred control options of blood glucose. When these methods are difficult to achieve the control of blood glucose, insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs are required for treatment. At present, a variety of hypoglycemic drugs have been used in clinical treatment, mainly including biguanides, sulfonylureas, insulin tolerance improvers, glinides, α-glucosidase inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransport (SGLT2) inhibitors and the like. These drugs have good therapeutic effects, but there are still safety issues in long-term treatment, for example, biguanides are prone to lactic acidosis; sulfonylureas cause hypoglycemic symptoms; insulin tolerance improvers cause edema, heart failure and weight gain; α-glucosidase inhibitors cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and other symptoms; sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitors increase the risk of urinary and reproductive system infections and the like. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of safer and more effective hypoglycemic drug to meet the therapeutic needs of diabetes.

Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) are a family of glucose transporter proteins found in small intestinal mucosa and renal proximal tubules, and the family members mainly include two main classes of SGLT-1 and SGLT2 proteins. Wherein, SGLT-2 is expressed at high levels in the kidney and is responsible for 90% of renal glucose reabsorption. Inhibition of SGLT2 prevents renal glucose reabsorption, promotes the excretion of glucose through urine, and lowers blood glucose. Since the above processes do not intervene in glucose metabolism, occurrence of hypoglycemic adverse reactions is avoided or mitigated. From 2012 to the present, six drugs, Dapagliflozin, Canagliflozin, Luseogliflozin, Ipragliflozin, Tofogliflozin and Empagliflozin, have been approved for marketing as effective drugs for the treatment of diabetes, moreover, Dapagliflozin, Canagliflozin, and Empagliflozin have been shown to possess cardiovascular benefit or renal protection in the clinic, thereby SGLT2 has become one of the ideal potential targets for the treatment of diabetes. However, SGLT2 drugs also pose an increased risk of urinary and genital infections.

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a serine protease on the cell surface, which inactivates a variety of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). DPP4 inhibitors can inactivate DPP4 so that the GLP-1 protein is not decomposed, and it plays a role in controlling blood glucose by increasing the level of GLP-1. So far, several DPP4 inhibitors have been marketed worldwide: sitagliptin, vildagliptin, saxagliptin, alogliptin, linagliptin, gemigliptin and teneligliptin and the like. The marketed DPP4 medicines have weak hypoglycemic effect, and although there is no cardiovascular benefit, long-term data show that they are safe and reliable without significant side effects.

In summary, SGLT2/DPP4 dual inhibitors possess good development prospects.

Certain specific compounds of the present disclosure contain both basic and acidic functional groups, thus can be converted to any base or acid addition salt.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure can be prepared from the parent compound that contains an acidic or basic moiety by conventional chemical method. Generally, such salt can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of the compound with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.

The compounds of the present disclosure may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present disclosure contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (−)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers isomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic and other mixtures thereof, such as enantiomers or diastereomeric enriched mixtures, all of which are within the scope of the present disclosure. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl. All these isomers and their mixtures are included within the scope of the present disclosure.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “enantiomer” or “optical isomer” refers to stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “cis-trans isomer” or “geometric isomer” is caused by the inability to rotate freely of double bonds or single bonds of ring-forming carbon atoms.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “diastereomer” refers to a stereoisomer in which a molecule has two or more chiral centers and the relationship between the molecules is not mirror images.

Unless otherwise specified, “(+)” refers to dextrorotation, “(−)” refers to levorotation, and or “(±)” refers to racemic.

Unless otherwise specified, the absolute configuration of a stereogenic center is represented by a wedged solid bond () and a wedged dashed bond (), and the relative configuration of a stereogenic center is represented by a straight solid bond () and a straight dashed bond () a wave line () is used to represent a wedged solid bond () or a wedged dashed bond () or the wave line () is used to represent a straight solid bond () and a straight dashed bond ().

Unless otherwise specified, when double bond structure, such as carbon-carbon double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, and nitrogen-nitrogen double bond, exists in the compound, and each of the atoms on the double bond is connected to two different substituents (including the condition where a double bond contains a nitrogen atom, the lone pair of electrons attached on the nitrogen atom is regarded as a substituent connected), if the atom on the double bond in the compound is connected to its substituent by a wave line (), this refers to the (Z) isomer, (E) isomer or a mixture of two isomers of the compound. For example, the following formula (A) means that the compound exists as a single isomer of formula (A-1) or formula (A-2) or as a mixture of two isomers of formula (A-1) and formula (A-2); the following formula (B) means that the compound exists in the form of a single isomer of formula (B-1) or formula (B-2) or in the form of a mixture of two isomers of formula (B-1) and formula (B-2). The following formula (C) means that the compound exists as a single isomer of formula (C-1) or formula (C-2) or as two a mixture of two isomers of formula (C-1) and formula (C-2).

Unless otherwise specified, the term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” means that at room temperature, the isomers of different functional groups are in dynamic equilibrium and can be transformed into each other quickly. If tautomers possibly exist (such as in solution), the chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. For example, proton tautomer (also called prototropic tautomer) includes interconversion through proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomer includes some recombination of bonding electrons for mutual transformation. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the tautomerism between two tautomers of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one.

Unless otherwise specified, the terms “enriched in one isomer”, “enriched in isomers”, “enriched in one enantiomer” or “enriched in enantiomers” refer to the content of one of the isomers or enantiomers is less than 100%, and the content of the isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “isomer excess” or “enantiomeric excess” refers to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if the content of one isomer or enantiomer is 90%, and the content of the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, the isomer or enantiomer excess (ee value) is 80%.

Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomer, or D and L isomer can be prepared using chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If one kind of enantiomer of certain compound of the present disclosure is to be obtained, the pure desired enantiomer can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or derivative action of chiral auxiliary followed by separating the resulting diastereomeric mixture and cleaving the auxiliary group. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional group (such as carboxyl), the compound reacts with an appropriate optically active acid or base to form a salt of the diastereomeric isomer which is then subjected to diastereomeric resolution through the conventional method in the art to obtain the pure enantiomer. In addition, the enantiomer and the diastereoisomer are generally isolated through chromatography which uses a chiral stationary phase and optionally combines with a chemical derivative method (such as carbamate generated from amine).

The compound of the present disclosure may contain an unnatural proportion of atomic isotope at one or more than one atom(s) that constitute the compound. For example, the compound can be radiolabeled with a radioactive isotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C). For another example, deuterated drugs can be formed by replacing hydrogen with heavy hydrogen, the bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than that of ordinary hydrogen and carbon, compared with non-deuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have the advantages of reduced toxic and side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, extended biological half-life of drugs and the like. All isotopic variations of the compound of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.

The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequent event or condition may occur but not requisite, that the term includes the instance in which the event or condition occurs and the instance in which the event or condition does not occur.

The term “substituted” means one or more than one hydrogen atom(s) on a specific atom are substituted with the substituent, including deuterium and hydrogen variables, as long as the valence of the specific atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is an oxygen (i.e., ═O), it means two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Positions on an aromatic ring cannot be substituted with a ketone. The term “optionally substituted” means an atom can be substituted with a substituent or not, unless otherwise specified, the type and number of the substituent may be arbitrary as long as is chemically achievable.

When any variable (such as R) occurs in the constitution or structure of the compound more than once, the definition of the variable at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 R, the group can be optionally substituted with up to two R, wherein the definition of R at each occurrence is independent. Moreover, a combination of the substituent and/or the variant thereof is allowed only when the combination results in a stable compound.

When the number of a linking group is 0, such as —(CRR)0—, it means that the linking group is a single bond.

When one of the variables is selected from a single bond, it means that the two groups linked by the single bond are connected directly. For example, when L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, the structure of A-L-Z is actually A-Z.

When a substituent is vacant, it means that the substituent does not exist, for example, when X is vacant in A-X, the structure of A-X is actually A. When the enumerative substituent does not indicate by which atom it is linked to the group to be substituted, such substituent can be bonded by any atom thereof. For example, when pyridyl acts as a substituent, it can be linked to the group to be substituted by any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.

When the enumerative linking group does not indicate the direction for linking, the direction for linking is arbitrary, for example, the linking group L contained in

is -M-W-, then -M-W- can link ring A and ring B to form

in the direction same as left-to-right reading order, and form

in the direction contrary to left-to-right reading order. A combination of the linking groups, substituents and/or variables thereof is allowed only when such combination can result in a stable compound.

Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more linkable sites, any one or more of the sites of that group may be linked to other groups by chemical bonding. The chemical bond between the site and other groups can be represented by a straight solid bond (), a straight dashed bond () or a wavy line (). For example, the straight solid bond in —OCH3 means that it is linked to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; the straight dashed bonds in

means that it is linked to other groups through the two ends of nitrogen atom in the group; the wave lines in

means that the phenyl group is linked to other groups through carbon atoms at position 1 and position 2.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “C1-3 alkyl” refers to a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The C1-3 alkyl group includes C1-2 and C2-3 alkyl groups and the like; it can be monovalent (such as methyl), divalent (such as methylene) or multivalent (such as methine). Examples of C1-3 alkyl include but are not limited to methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (including n-propyl and isopropyl) and the like.

The C1-3 alkoxy includes C1-2, C2-3, C3 and C2 alkoxy and the like. Examples of C1-3 alkoxy include, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy (including n-propoxy and isopropoxy) and the like.
